Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
Princess Li Wei 10: The Secret of the Labyrinth

One by one the participants came out of the labyrinth. At the door where they entered. Some of them look shady because they get hunted. But some of them also show a sad face. Without even mentioning the soldiers who guarded already knew how it turned out.

More than anything Li Jun was just waiting in the same place. I don't know why he thought that the whole participant would not be able to reach the deepest part of the labyrinth. Because, their arrows will run out even just into the second side of the labyrinth.

Actually there is no rule where they have to reach the middle of the labyrinth. If they don't find a way, and can't come back then there'll be a Night Army picking them up. So no one forced them to survive to the middle. It leaves them free to return if they can't find a way out.

However, Li Jun realized that he did not see the figure that should be among the participants of the Hunt Tonight.

"There's still no one out yet" Li Jun said as he got up from his seat.

Li Wei and his two comrades had not come out yet.

Then, SYUT ...

A man dressed in all black who was in charge of guarding the interior of the labyrinth approached Li Jun. The man seemed to whisper with Li Jun, and the First Prince simply frowned. Especially when realizing that almost all participants had completed the Night Hunt.

"Find out what's left in the labyrinth right now!" shouted Li Jun while shouting loudly.

The soldiers went straight into the labyrinth quickly. This is out of what has been determined. No one should be able to get into the middle layer. Because even the empires only targeted locations all the way to the fifth tier. After that fifth layer, there was no other way that could go into its deepest layer.

It was all because the layer was already closed. Unless, if anyone enters through a different path.

Li Jun ordered a soldier to approach, and gave the order. "Begging Second Sister to come to the Stone Labyrinth. Now too!"

"Okay, Prince."

For their generation, there had been no one more powerful in medicine than their Second Prince, Li Chen. The Second Prince broke away in politics, and focused more on medicine. So that if something happened to the trainees left behind, especially Li Wei, they could handle it.

A soldier who frequently followed Li Jun asked, "Why is it necessary to call the Second Prince, Prince? Didn't Master Ling Xiao also pull the hunters he released?"

The Night Hunt was over, and Ling Xiao had already released all of his talisman papers. So if anyone is locked up in there they just need to find it. Without fear of getting hurt again. Moreover, as far as they knew that those left behind in the labyrinth were the most competent people in the Night Hunt.

"Prince of Preface." Li Jun said it with an unconvinced expression.

Whatever it is called is a story that happened about a hundred years ago.

The Prefect Prince, as his name suggests is a Grieving Prince. How the story really isn't anyone knows. However, it was part of the history of kings in the Li Kingdom.

As has been mentioned often. That the tradition of the Li Kingdom in choosing the next king is not through the bloodline, but through the orders of the Gods. So that about a hundred years ago, the King who was afraid if asked fell on people who were not from the royal family to cheat by bribing a royal astrologer. The seer told him about the next king, but it was just a false prophecy.

The king who is appointed as the next King is not in accordance with the prophecy. They made the wrong Prince king, while the real king was the younger brother of the False King. It was a stupidity recorded in history.

Though you planned for your family to become a King, and tried to falsify the command of the gods. But the Lord granted your prayers. He chose your son as king, only your son is not one. So that people print the family 'Li' in the generation is less patient.

This is what makes a big disaster happen. Droughts, endless wars, and a strange plague called the Prince of Preachers.

Why is it called the Prince of Preachers plague?

Do you remember the Bungsu Prince who was supposed to be the King?

Because of the disaster people knew something was wrong. A big coup occurred so that many camps want to dismantle the results of the actual prophecy. When the truth is revealed, the kingdom can only save their good name. That is, eliminating the king in the prophecy.

Prince Bungsu was forced to commit suicide so that they had a reason for their 'advancement' of appointing the king.

That's the origin of the Prince of Preachers.

The prince committed suicide and the sword he used to kill himself held many grudges. So that some time after Prince Bungsu committed suicide, a strange outbreak appeared. People began to cry loudly, even without grieving. They will continue to cry incessantly, and the tears they shed will become stones. When you cry, it's impossible to dry your eyeballs quickly. The stones dried up in their eyes, making them blind.

Then they began to suspect something was wrong. They could only throw the sword that Prince Bungsu used to commit suicide into the dump of sinners. The truth is not true either

That was actually the origin of the Stone Labyrinth. Because the sword of Prince Bungsu planted there the area around him continues to draw water from the ground. The water that came out of the ground splashed high into the air and became stone. That's what makes the stone walls there harden.

The longer the walls are more and more, so people do not know how many. So no one knows what the middle of this stone labyrinth is. That was Li Jun feeling extremely shocked when he knew that someone was close to reaching the middle.

But it happened about a hundred years ago. The sword had been purified by the soil and rainwater, so the Stone Labyrinth could begin to be used again. After all, with five arrows the participants would not be far in. They'll come back, even if they don't get hunted. Because it is very dangerous to enter without a weapon.

And, about that ... The participants clearly did not know if this Stone Labyrinth was a place written in that history.

This place has become a secret in the Kingdom. Even if it wasn't for the Night Hunt, then no one else would be allowed into the Stone Labyrinth. Only the Night Soldiers were allowed inside.

Well, it's because they have to 'throw' something, right?

"But Prince, no one knows if the story is true or not. After all, we entered the place yesterday and saw that there was nothing strange there," explained the soldier to calm Li Jun down.

Li Jun stared at the Stone Labyrinth with a restless expression. Believe that many things are unexpected today.

"Yes, hopefully there will be no other surprising events" Li Jun said.

Then, a man in his distinctive yellow clothes came with tears in his eyes. He immediately charged towards Li Jun, and shook Li Jun's shoulder. This man, the Second Prince, Li Chen.

"Hey, he said Li Wei disappeared. Oh my goodness, my poor brother. You've been well looked after like a child yourself, but why are you so upset and want to join the Hunt Tonight" said Li Chen who still shook Li Jun's shoulders.

What is being guarded like a child? Aren't they brothers?!

Li Jun could only sigh. He should have remembered his sister's strange nature. He immediately distanced Li Chen from before him. Before he decided to strangle this sometimes anxious Li Chen.

"Do your job here! You come with me inside to find the rest of the participants who haven't come out yet" ordered Li Jun who had a sudden headache.

Li Chen rubbed his tears that had fallen out of nowhere, "What's taking me inside for? I can't be a guide."

Li Chen even remembered himself forgetting his way home when strolling through the City Center. Clearly he would only cause new problems within the Stone Labyrinth. Moreover, this was the first time Li Chen had come to this place.

"Just be on guard," Li Jun said as he sighed heavily.

Who knows what will happen next. Isn't there a lot of weirdness from the Hunt Tonight?

***

"Hachiyimmm ..." Li Wei suddenly sneezed as he climbed up the tree trunk.

Luckily this tree he climbed was a tree that had many branches. So that Li Wei was not so difficult to ride it. He sighed while hugging a rather large tree branch.

This how's my fate?

Does he have to stay on top of this tree until he is found? If anyone is looking for it. This is really the bad luck that sticks out today.

The wolf that had previously risen, and easily found Li Wei. Of course ... Wolves have a fairly sharp smell, so they can recognize their targets, even if they are hiding. Li Wei was supposed to be rolling on the muddy ground to hide the smell.

Oh my goodness ...

Due to the fatigue Li Wei fell asleep very easily.

He was sure that he was sleeping very well. He could even hear the sound of the wind singing a lullaby. However, the song that Li Wei usually heard with the hum changed.

"When the rain watered, roses seemed to bloom. Then they sang until their stalks swayed. Hmmm .. hmmm ..."

Since when did the lullaby become like this?

It's like someone added song lyrics to it. Obviously it's not a bad thing. But it was unusual, even though it sounded very melodious. Meaning ... The chant sounded very warm, and made Li Wei grow sleepy.

Even Li Wei could strangely feel someone rubbing his head. I don't know how long Li Wei hasn't felt his head rubbed. Her mother was quite busy with her affairs as Empress, so Li Wei was only pestering with what she liked.

It felt so soothing that Li Wei had forgotten that the wolf was beneath him. He had forgotten that he was alone in this place.

Wait a minute ... Wasn't Li Wei alone in this place?

Li Wei quickly woke up like a person soaking in water for a long time. As a result of his movements, Li Wei did not realize that his balance was disturbed. This made Li Wei almost fall from the branch of the tree where he lay.

HUFT!!

Li Wei's right hand grabbed the tree branch to hang on. He's just afraid that he'll be on the wolf's dinner menu right now. After being sure the grip was strong, Li Wei stared down.

Where's wolf?

TAPSS

Li Wei realized that colorful talisman paper was being floated in the air. It was a marker of the end of the Night Hunt. Bats that were like the night sky had also disappeared. Of course because the bat was a 'toy' that Ling Xiao had spread.

Also, is that why these wolves disappeared?

Because Ling Xiao pulled the quarry back.

However, I am very sure that the wolf is the real one.

Li Wei tried to climb back up the tree. He can't come down if he doesn't make sure. What if the wolf just stayed away for a while?

He jumped up to climb back up to the tree branch, and stood there. But what to expect from a dark night like this. Li Wei only got a not so good view, especially at the end of the labyrinth.

There was clearly another large door, and Li Wei was sure it was the path to the deepest part of the labyrinth. He still cannot guarantee what is in the labyrinth.

Now if the quarry had already been pulled by Ling Xiao, then Li Wei could find a way to get out of the Stone Labyrinth.

"Suttgart ... Nove ... Awuoooo ... Where are you wolf?" li Wei asked for certainty.

However, the surroundings of Li Wei still looked very quiet. Until if he saw a strange figure there, he immediately knew that the figure was not human. Li Wei could only sigh as he felt tired.

Not to mention he was feeling a bit hungry now.

He spent a lot of time hunting. Unfortunately, even though he got one hunt, he couldn't eat it. Li Wei could only hug the tree trunk as it felt sad for herself.

Also, the wolf really does not exist anymore. It was possible that the wolf was exhausted from waiting for Li Wei, and decided to look for a calf to eat. I don't know that was just an assumption from Li Wei.

"Has Zhang Yuwen and Wei Wuxie already come out of the labyrinth?" ask Li Wei in the air so that she does not feel alone.

If the two people came out first from the labyrinth, then Li Wei only resigned. At its simplest later if Li Wei met the two people, then Li Wei would move the armpit hair into a mustache. Well, even though the two people also had no clue to look for Li Wei.

SREK'S!

BABBLE.

Li Wei felt like his legs were depressed by themselves. It made Li Wei slip from the top of the tree. It seemed as if Li Wei had missteps until he had subconsciously injured his own leg. Li Wei's hand attempted to grab the tree branch, but it was so far away.

Yes it's okay. Even if it falls, it will still fall down.

Suddenly Li Wei always felt resigned to his own misfortune. He stretched out his hand so as not to overlay his own hand when he fell. But, ....

SRETT!

GREPS.

Li Wei felt a pair of hands grabbing his body. But only for a moment did he feel like he wanted to thank the one who caught him. His body was also still falling, because the one who caught him could not bear the burden.

The result was that Li Wei also fell to the ground, even from a lower distance.

"Daughter, why does the Princess' weight not match this short body?" That annoying voice made Li Wei want to strangle the owner of the voice.

Li Wei rubbed his waist while staring at Zhang Yuwen who was still nagging. "When are you guys coming?"

Wei Wuxie helped Li Wei clean her clothes, "We just came, Princess. Especially when the Princess yelled earlier, so we could tell where the Princess was."

Oh ... Who called the wolf.

But, ... Li Wei looked at Zhang Yuwen, "If you can hear my voice, did any of you sing before?" li Wei asked who remembered about the man singing the lullaby that Li Wei heard.

Zhang Yuwen nagged, "I have a rare sound characteristic, so I can't possibly make a golden sound."

Where can that confidence come from. Even Li Wei was sure that the sound of the cow singing was more beautiful than Zhang Yuwen's annoying voice.

Wei Wuxie looked at Li Wei who was like looking, "There's a missing one, Princess?"

Asked like that Li Wei reflexively shook his head. He may have only dreamed before. Li Wei could only believe that.

Li Wei looked around him once more before replying, "It's okay, Wuxie."

Maybe it's just my feelings.
